borers Forms Union With the Knights
of Labor.
P1rTsBURa, Pa, November ia circular
is now being prepared by Chris Evans, Sec
rotary of the Federation of Miners and
Mine laborers and will be issued to the
$50 900 miners organized and unorganized
of the country in short time. It is in the
interest of harmony and unity of action and
is one result of the joint meeting Of the e1-
ecutive boards of the Miners Federation

of Labor, which closed in Columbus yester-
day. This circular will be signed by the ex
ecutive officers of the two organizations. It
will provide that no strike shall be ordered

MAY SHUT DOWN.

The Bessemer Steel Works to Suspend
Work the First of December Thousands
of Men Will be Thrown Out of Employ
ment.
PrTTsBURa, Pa, November 1S.-H has
been definitely and authoritively stated that
all the Bessemer rail manufacturers who
have been for years working tremendously
together haze decided to order q general
suspension of work. It is expected that
this will occur on the first of December.
The cause of the suspension is the unsatis-
factory condition of the rail market. Many
contracts are expiring and new ones are
being sent back in the hope of lower prices.
Patrons are willing to place contracts. but
the terms are Entirely unsatisfactory. The
manufacturers say that prices cannot be re-
duced owing to the high wages and the
rates demanded for ore. The suspension
will throw an immense number of men out
of employment not only in the mills but in
the coke regions of this section. It is estl-
mated that fully cne- third of the coke out
put will be thrown upon the markets, and
this will not only reduce the price but may
result in shut down of large proportion
of the ovens, and consequently reduce the
number of workmen, The fact that re-
duction of wages in the works at Troy has
been made, is taken as an indication that
wages will be lower next year. The situa-
ton is decidedly interesting.

A Peaceful Meeting.

LONDON, November 2k-The enormous
crowd which attended the meeting at Hyde
Park yesterday, was Unexpectedly orderly
and also astonishing well appearing. The
speakers took especial pains to guard against
disorder, by advising their hearers to COM
NIT no act of violence, but to trust their
leaders to fight the battle in the house Of
commons. The crowd as whole displayed
an air of responsibility surprising that of
any gathering of a similar character and
purpose assembled in London for many
years, and the few policemen present had
practically nothing to do. These were sta
toned near the stand, and apparently for
the purpose of reminding the crowd of their
presence and functions, rather than that Of
quelling disorder, for there were not enough
Of them had the crowd been turbulent.
The scene was a weird one, the crowd
being packed around the stand with up
turned faces, and its outer edge lost to view
in the dense fog that overhung the park. Not
more than half of those present could get
within hearing of the speakers, but ths TO-
mote ones appeared to be satisfied with the
fact that they had held meeting without
molestation.

Hc1rEnENr AT SAN ANTONIO.

The Mayor II Arrested-The United statss
Grand Jury Indicts Them ON . Charge
OF Breaking Up Prohibition Meeting.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, November 18-The
first weeks Of the prohibition campaign in
this state the prohibitionists of San An
tonic endeavored to hold apublic meeting.
They applied to the mayor and city council
to use the plaza, but were refused on the
ground that it would possibly be apt to
create a disturbance. They then OBJ
tanned use OF vacant lot which had
been purchased by the United States as
site for q court house. The
gathering was held at night and was largely
attended many of the crowd being prohi-
bitionists. Considerable disorder prevailed
but no overt act occurred until Rev. A. 81.
Sutherland, q Baptist minister of this city,
mounted the rostrum. He had spoken
scarcely half dozen sentences when he was
struck by cyclone of rotten eggs, which
suit, and the police were unable to restore
order. The meeting was broken up,
and the Christians went home vowing
vengeance next day. Some arrests fol-
lowed. The parties were tried before
United States Commissioner Stevenson, and
bound over to await the action of the Fed
eral grand jury. This body, but recently
CHAN, mayor of the city of San Antonio, and
ex-Alderman Lockwood, for conspiracy to
break up public meeting on United States
territory; and Gus Kampman, a million
aires son, and M. Seelas, an employe
of the Lone Star Brewery, for
breaking up public meeting, Kampman
and Seelas are alleged to be the men who
threw the eggs. They all gave $1,000 bond
each to answer at this term of court. Owing
to the official and social prominence of the
parties the affair excites much interest
throughout the state. The cold-water men
are jubilant over the result of the grand jury
investigation.

TO Form q Ministry.

PARIS, November 21.-M. Clemencesu had
an interview with President Grevy this morn
ing and informed him that he was ready to
was bound to indicate to the president that
there were other elements besides the minis
terial question to compicate the situation.
PARIS, November 21.-Replying to n.
Clemenceau, President Grevy said that for
n any reasons he desired to retire to private
lite, out it was his desire to quit the Elysee
palace with honor. Furthermore, he would
remain in Office until things were
80 arranged that he could take his
departure with dignity. He felt that
this was due to his past life and the Office he
held. He feared he was setting bad prece-
dent. He referred to M. Wilson az q VIC
tim of political intrigue against himself.
The conference was renewed in the evening
when M. Clemenceau, Floquet, Goblet
and DeFrycinct each declined to accept the
task or forming ministry.

The "Daily Newspaper" II Discussed by tho
Clersymen-They Receive Considerable
Praise, as well as Some Condemnation.
INDIANAPOLIS, hD., November 1.-THE
Baptist congress continued its session to-
day. At 2 o'clock paper on 1.-THE Secular
Press" was read by Robert ]. Burdette. He
thought, as whole, the papers were better
now than at any previous time and were
generally conducted In manner well caicu.
lated to meet the demands and approval OF
the best classes of community. The paper
was written in the humorist's characteristic
style and was highly appreciated by the au-
dience. He was followed by DIR. Lasher,
who held that newspapers are educators OF
the people and that they were as gooo
as their readers would permit them
to be. The speaker took exceptions to some
features of the daily press and said that the
declaration of crime in gaudy apparel, the
painting of vice in glowing and SEDUCTIVE
colors, are things that justify the title OF the
satanic press" for such papers. He main
tanned, however, that the net effect OF news
paper influence was for good and that they
were great power in the reformation OF
evil The religious press" was next taken
up. DR.. II. L. Wayland, who was to open the
discussion, was not present, but the par or
was read by Dr.. G. D.. Boardman.
In the evening the improved methods OF
theological education were discussed by Dr:
W. G. WILKINSON, of Tarratown, N. Y, and
DR.. FL. G.. Mabie, of st. Paul, Mimi.
The second topic was ''women's work in
the church," and the speakers were Dr..W.
M. Lawrence, of Chicago, G. 81. Strickland,
of Nashville and j. w. Wellmart, of Phila-
delphia.

A Bomb at Columbus.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, November 18.-Some
excitement was caused this e1ening by the
discovery of bomb at the State Journal
Office. It consists of an iron pipe about
seven inches long, both ends closed with
hard wood and an oil fuse attached which
was tipped with an ordinary match.
It was arranged at the door of the local de-
partment Sd that match could be lighted
by any one passing and stepping up to the
door. The police do not believe that it was
. hoax. Thep placed it in depression at
an isolated point and by continuing
the fuse burned to the mouth of the bomb
without danger. There was no explosion.
but what the pipe contains in the way of an
explosive substance still remains mystery.
The police will make further investigation.

A Kansas Killing.

ABILENE, KAN, November 2l.-Saturday
last the remains of man was found on the
premises of John Gillette, farmer living in
Hope township, Dickinson county. Sheriff
Thompson, of Marion county, was tele-
graphed for Saturday, and with several resi-
dents of Marion Center identified the re-
mains as those of John Goul, who left Marion
Center two months ago in company with
Thomas morgan, a worthless fellow. Goul
had fallen heir to $4,000, and Nor
gan, knowing this, coa1ed him
to embark in some BUSINESS scheme.
They went to Lost Springs, obtained a rig
and started for a farm house several miles
distant. About four hours afterward Nor
gan returned alone saying that his. friend
had got on the train at q tank several miles
up the road and gone to Salina to see his
girl, Morgan went away from Marion and
roamed around the country for couple Of
weeks and then returned dressed in new
clothing and supporting jewelry, he also
had money and paid several debts,
he then disappeared. When the
remains were found, the flesh had been COM
pletely picked off by coyotes, leaving moth
ing but the bare bones. A bullet hole was
found back of the left ear. They were iden.
titled, however, as those of Goul
through a popularity of his teeth and
also by the clothing which was found near
the spot. At an inquest held yesterday. the
jury rendered verdict that John Goul
came to his death, caused by pistol or gun
shot wound inflicted by Thomas Morgan.
Warrants have been issued for the murder
er's arrest and the officers are now on his
track

The Situation in Franco,

PARIS, November 1.-THE ministers after
meeting at the Palas Du Bourbon to consid-
er the situation, went in body to the ElyZe
Palace and informed President Grevy Of
the decision of the chamber. M.
Nazeau then placed his resig-
nation in the hands of M. Grevy and the
president entrusted Minister Fallieres tenn
porarily with the duties of justice. A plenary
meeting of the republican group of the SEN
ate and chamber of deputies is sum-
moned for tomorrow to arrange the
terms of an Interpolation with
reference to President Grevy, which will be
day. An excited discussion is going on with
reference to the successor Of President
Grevy. M. NJ. Ferry, DeFreycinet, Flouquet,
Flodrens, Leon Say, and Jules Simon
have each his section of supporters and alb
sclute confusion prevails. The latest nomi-
nee of the moderates is General Saussier,
the gove nor of Paris, who will command
the votes of the sections of the right.

Fire Aboard Ship.

Boston, November 16.-Fire was discov-
cred early this morning in the after-hold of
the steamer Venetian, loading at this port
for Live. pool to sail to-day. The fire is con-
fined to the lower hold, and the general car
60 is being removed, while that portion Of
the vessel where the fire started is being
flooded with water. The loss will be heavy,
but cannot be ascertained at present. While
the fremen were fighting the fire in the hold
the smoke became so dense and the heat so
great that a large number Of fremen were
overcome and rescued with difficulty. As
q. any as twenty-five of them had to be car
ried to the open air where all were resuci-
tated and it i" not believed fatal results will
ensue; although number are in Appreciated
for further work. The Venetian is the same
ship that arrived here November 10 with fire
in the fore-hold. The cargo was then thrown
INTO the sea and the fire extinguished with
seam.

Catholic Sensation.

CRY OF MEXICO, November 16.-A lively
sensation was caused here by the arrival of q
circular letter issued by the Catholic bishop
of the state of Tampaulipas in which he said
that homage to the Virgin of Guadalupe,
the patron saint of the country, was not
obligatory on the part of the faithful, aud it
is intimated that the papal authority is
against making such homage a point
of doctrines in Mexico. This strikes a tre-
mendous blow against time honored prac-
tice in this country, and comes at q time
when the coronation of the Virgin of Quad
Rlupe is the subject of an angry controversy
between the liberal and church party news
papers. It is asserted here by the liberals
that Pope Leo does not favor the
Virgin of Guadalupe to the extent it has
been practiced and that he is DESTROYS that
the Mexican church should combat the grow
ing liberalism of the country by renewed at
tention to the. education of the common peo-
pie and so identifying the church with the
best interests of the people. Large num-
bers of Catholics here sympathize with the
reported attitude of the holy father: One
prominent bishop, noted hitherto for his
antagonism to railways and American ideas,
has announced his conversion to the belief
in the efficacy of railways and their need
fulness to the welfare of the country, and
urges his clergy in favor of railway building
The newly appointed bishop of Oaxaca'
the state of President Diaz, is'
outspoken in favor of the spread
of education. Evidently a progressive
movement has begun inside the church,
whose leading men begin to hold that the
best way to meet the efforts of Protestant
missionaries is to reform all existing abuses
and meet education by Protestants with
education under Catholic auspices. The
new liberal Catholic movement favors the
reelection of President Diaz.

A London Rioter Acquitted.

LONDON, November 17.-William Saun-
ders, an ex-member of parliament, who was
in Trafalgar square, was arraigned in court
to-day. He was charged with disorder
~ conduct in speaking in Trafalgar
square and thereby causing disorderly
assemblage. He was also charged with OBJ
structing the police. The crown counsel adj
mitted that the charges were unstatutory,
and requested that they be dismissed. MI.
Saunders insisted on conviction. The
magistrate, however, dismissed the
charges on the ground that a breach
of the prohibitive order of Cen
eral Warren, the police superinten-
dent, did not form statutory offense. The
radicals are jubilant over the result of the
arrest and may possibly revoke their decis-
ion not to meet in Trafalgar square on Sum
day.

Granted q New Trial.

OoLuMBus, O., November T.-Ebenezer
StanYard, who was to have been executed at
the Ohio penitentiary tomorrow night for
the murder of Miss Hancock. at Youngs-
town, was returned to the latter place to-day
by order of higher court for new trial.
The decision of the court grant
ing the new trial on error in the
former proceeding was received yes
terday. Stanyard has been telling the re-
he was granted new trial or not, and there
was some curiosity to learn how he expected
to escape. When he was taken out of his
cell this morning his person was searched
and a case-knife found which had been
sharpened to fine edge on both sides for the
work he intended to do as soon as he learned
his fina. fate. The blade of the knife was
recurely wrapped in cloth and supported by
q string about his neck.

JOHANN MOST Gagged.
He Il Charged with Seditious Language
Calculated to Incite . Riot.

He II Charged With Seditious Language
Calculated to Incite = Riot.
New York, November H.-Herr Most has
been arrested and taken to police headouar-
ters. The arrest was made on account of
his language at the anarchist meeting Sat-
urday night. The arrest was made at noon,
at the Office of his newspaper. He was taken
directly to police headquarters and locked
up. His arrest was made by Director
Byrnes on, a warrant issued by Justice
Cowing to-day for having made an incen-
diary speech, calculated to incite not in
hall on Seventh street. On Saturday night
Johann Most with his companion, Lena
Fischer, was attending an anarchists meet
ing on Seventh street. Most himself
made q speech, which was particular
ly blood -curdling in character. Patrol
men Root and Sechs were there in
search was begun for the anarchist, He was
not to be found. When the excitement of
the search for Most died out he thought the
trouble was gone by and yesterday he came
back to the city and went to work With his
paper. This morning Mr.. Byrnes pre-
sented the evidence that he had obtained
againit Most for incendiarism and asked
that the grand jury find an Indictment
against him. The inspector and seven wit
nesses gave testimony and an indictment
was found. Meanwhile Most had been ar
rested. Most insists that he did not use the
language attributed to him by the police.
AS this is the second time he will probably
get the full extent of tho law, which is one
years imprisonment and fine.

Had the Other Feiiow's Clothes On.

LEAvENwoRTH, KAN, November 19.-On
the 9Th of November three young men
named Sohn Praeder, Ed Millory and Jim
Butler left here in skiff, going down the
Missuri river, intending to spend several
weeks below Z nsas City hunting. Nothing
had been heard of them by their parents un-
til yesterday, when Praeder returned
dressed in a suit of clothes belonging to Mil
lory. When asked concerning the where
abouts of the other two boys he
stated they stopped at Kansas City,
aud Millory and Roberts insisted upon
going into the city; that he did
not care to 60, and just before separating
the two former said to him that if they did
not return he could have all the effects to
dispose of as he saw fit. Praeder further
stated that they did not return that day and
the next, and he pawned the guns to get
enough money to return home with, and
that he cut the skif loose and let it drift
down the river. Praeder's story was so inn
probable that warrant, charging him with
petit larceny was sworn out, and he Will be
held until information can be obtained OF
the whereabouts of Mellory and Roberts,
many believing that they have been foully
dealt with.
